Secluded Ranch Cabin between Garner and Lost Maples
Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is one of two cabins available on Four Sisters Ranch. (Kat's Kabin is the 2nd.) This is a large cabin with two queen beds on one end and a full kitchen on the other. A smart TV and a couch are in the middle of the Four Sisters Ranch Cabin is nestled in the Texas Hill Country at 1848 Lemond Rd. about 7 miles from Utopia, Texas. The location is between Lost Maples State Natural Area and Garner State Park! We invite you to enjoy our ranch cabin and hike, bike and explore 500 acres of a working family ranch.
Sip your coffee on the back porch with a fantastic view. This is a perfect place to unwind, make s’mores around the fire pit, star-gaze, enjoy the fresh country air and escape the stresses of the city.
You can enjoy the sounds of nature, wildlife and a beautiful night sky. You may see a variety of wildlife from the porch including deer, turkey, wild hogs and hummingbirds. Fire Flies are often seen during the summer months.
Located 90 mi NW of San Antonio and 7 mi from Utopia, the cabin is 15 miles from Lost Maples State Natural Area and 23 miles from Garner State Park. The Hill Country State Natural Area is about 45 miles away.
Our curvy, scenic roads boast fantastic hill country views. Local activities: Golf in Utopia (the setting for the movie 7 Days in Utopia). Go swimming at Utopia Park on the Sabinal River, Float the Frio River. Hike at Garner Park. Go birding at Lost Maple Park. Gaze at the stars. Photograph the picturesque hill country views. BBQ on the patio. Visit Lost Maples winery. The Texas hill country is a wonderful year around birding & wildlife viewing destination! We are in one of the best areas of Texas to see the Golden Cheeked Warbler, Black Capped Vireo, Vermilion Flycatcher and more!
Dine at The Laurel Tree in Utopia (requires a reservation) and Mac & Ernies in Tarpley for a fantastic dining experience! Utopia has several cafes and sometimes great BBQ on Saturdays at Big Ern's.
The nearest airport is in San Antonio (~1.5 hr drive). Austin is an ~ 3 hour drive.
Other Things to Note; For major holidays, a three night minimum is required. We might consider a one night booking. Send us an inquiry.
Utopia is a very small community with a general store, bank, gas station, cafes and a few shops. Limited groceries are available at the general store. The nearest large grocery store and hospital is 45 miles ( Hondo, Kerrville or Uvalde). Cell phone service is very limited, only AT&T works and it is spotty.
You can also rent Kat's Kabin #913458 if you would like to bring another family with you. It is about .2 miles away.
Although the cabin is secluded, you may hear the family gathering nearby sometimes in the summer and on holidays.
Our cabin sleeps 4 on two queen beds. No more than four people and one dog are allowed unless you have prior approval by the owner. There is a full kitchen and bath. There is a smart TV with DVD player and a large selection of movies for you to enjoy. We have internet! There is a large porch on the front and back of the cabin where you can relax and watch the wildlife come to the feeder.
Note: Since the cabin is one large room, it is not suitable for young children who need a separate place to nap. Our porches do not have rails so we are not an ideal place for toddlers.
If you want to visit the State parks you must make a reservation online 30 days in advance.
GPS is not always accurate. Take Hwy 187 north from Utopia. In 3 miles go left on West Sabinal Rd. Continue until you get to Lemond Rd. Take a left on Lemond and continue (passing through 4 cattleguards) until you get to 1848. There is a rock sign on your right. Follow the Four Sisters Ranch signs at the turns.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is the perfect cabin for a quiet getaway to nature. Plentiful wildlife to watch from the back porch including deer and turkey. Host was superb and took me on a tour of the property so I could enjoy hiking on the property. It is also conveniently located to Lost Maples and Garner State Parks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a great review. We love hosting nature lovers!! It was a pleasure to meet you and show you our ranch. We are grateful for your business.
Our stay at Four Sisters Ranch in Utopia was truly unforgettable. This is hands down the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had.You can tell the host has put an incredible amount of thought and care into every detail. From the creative touches designed to attract wildlife to the spotless condition of the cabin and fresh lemon blueberry bread, everything felt fresh and welcoming. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and extremely comfortable, making it the perfect place to unwind.One of the highlights of our stay was the wildlife. We saw so many animals right from the cabin and deck! We originally planned to spend our time hiking, but the cabin and the deck were so peaceful and inviting that we ended up just relaxing there and taking it all in. Sitting outside watching the wildlife and enjoying the quiet Hill Country setting turned out to be the best possible way to spend our time.The ranch itself is also fun to explore. There are several interesting things to see as you walk around the property and the history of the ranch, which adds another layer to the experience.The location is fantastic as well. It’s easy to get to several charming little towns with great restaurants and shops, and it’s close to some of the best state parks and natural areas in the area.If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings, thoughtful hospitality, and abundant wildlife, this place is truly special. We can’t wait to return. 🦌

The cabin was a lovely place to stay for a relaxing holiday. Lots of birds (we saw 31 species in our 4 days) and other wildlife as well. Kath and Butch were very welcoming and helpful. Would definately recommend to anyone to book their stay here.

Thank you for the great review. We would love to have you back anytime. You were the perfect guest.
This is our second time at the 4 sister’s cabin. Kat was such a gracious host. Even had a load of cranberry bread when we arrived. So enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the deer. Such a beautiful view!! Will definitely be back for a third time.

About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Lewis
Four Sisters Ranch has been in the Fisher family since 1918. The Four Sisters all live in Utopia and two live on the ranch. Three of us are retired school teachers. We have a very close family and we work as a team to make our rental exactly like one we would hope to find.
Why they chose this property
We feel blessed to have this beautiful property and we want to share it with our guests. You are welcome to hike or bike our land and the small county roads in the area as well.
What makes this property unique
What's unique? Birds and wildlife are abundant! Our place is only for people who want to be immersed in nature and get away from the hectic city life for just a bit! If you need constant activity, and a major store or restaurant around the corner, this is not the best place for you. If you want to get away, relax and unwind, you have found your perfect spot.
